The White family are set to get horrifying news in Emmerdale as it seems that Lachlan may have taken his own life in a grim twist. And this could also lead to Robert Sugden’s plot being exposed.

For months, Robert has been plotting to take over Home farm and has expertly manipulated Lawrence and Rebecca, much to the rage of Lachlan, who threatened to kill him.

Since the birth of his baby, Seb, Robert’s attitude has changed and he has determined to right his wrongs and play a role in the business to ensure he does the best he can for the Whites.

However, Lachlan’s rage at Robert’s presence has pushed him over the edge and Aaron Dingle worries about Belle’s involvement with him after hearing of his threatening behaviour.

When Belle learns about the prostitute and that Lachlan almost hurt Seb, she confronts him and is distraught when he doesn’t deny it. Robert is relieved that Lachlan’s true colours are exposed but things then get even darker when Chrissie receives an alarming text from her son which says that he will never return.

In a dark room, Lachlan leaves a goodbye message for Belle and then picks up an electric drill – but what does he plan to do and when Chrissie tearfully claims that her son may have ended his own life, is tragedy set to rock Home Farm?

Robert is thrown not just by Lachlan’s actions but also because Rebecca has spotted his fake investor Kath on the shopping channel as a presenter.
